Judy Pfaff – “YUKATA A AND YUKATA B”
Produced 2016
Master Printer: Jason Ruhl, Tandem Press
Judy Pfaff’s Yukata A AND Yukata B are the 2016 Presentation Print commissioned by the Print Club of New York to its members.
Yukata
Yukata B
This print is made up of 10 simple circular woodcuts influenced by traditional motifs from
Japanese textiles, a continuing interest. Given the opportunity to produce a print for the Print
Club of New York, it offered some challenges. I wanted to make a print which, even though the
edition number was large, would be hands on and intimate. I cut the woodcuts at the studio in
Tivoli and will hand paint them so that everyone is a little different…a little different from each
other, and offered like a bouquet, each one presented as a gift. – Judy Pfaff
